<\/a>Quebec home buyer\u2019s tax credit <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nUnlike other provinces, Quebec does not offer a full rebate on land transfer taxes. However, it does offer a tax credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Quebec Home Buyer\u2019s tax credit<\/a> is relatively simple. In the same year that one purchases a home for the first time, a credit up to $1,400 will be applied to an individual or family\u2019s tax return.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuebec City Family Access Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe\u00a0Quebec City Family Access Program<\/a>\u00a0offers financial assistance through an interest-free loan of up to 5.5% of the property value.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnder this program, the maximum purchase price of the home cannot exceed $370,000. Additional eligibility criteria includes not owning a home in the five year period prior to applying to the program, and not exceeding a maximum gross income of $150,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
